Safety checklist for RackLift cabinet operations

Safety comes first on any mechanical lift, including the RL3500S and RL5000S. Use this checklist at every stage. Follow the operator’s manual for the specific model.

Before

• Inspect both units for damage, wear, bent parts, loose or missing hardware.
• Confirm the load is inside the rated capacity and properly balanced.
• Clear obstacles. Check the floor: no cracks, steps, ramps, or wet tile that will take a 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) cabinet.
• PPE: safety footwear, gloves, eye protection as the site requires.
• Operators trained on the controls, straps, and pinch points. Read the manual.

During

• Watch the aisle. Call out movement. Nobody walks under the load.
• Watch the cabinet for shift. Stop and restabilize if it moves.
• Slow. No snatch starts, no panic stops, no yank around a corner.
• Keep hands and feet out of the shoe, the jack, and the caster line.
• Never leave a raised cabinet unattended.

After

• Inspect again. Note anything that changed during the move.
• Store the units in a clean, dry, designated spot. Do not block exits.
• Log the job: what moved, any issue, how it was fixed.
• Report damage. Do not return a faulty unit to the floor.
• Review. Update site procedure if the move taught you something.
